Do you have a feel for what is best for you with regards to living with him or apart at this time?

Answering that question and walking towards that truth will always keep you on the right path. And that is true for any choice you make.

Ultimately I chose to leave and my heart and soul made that choice long before I actually left. With hindsight I see that listening to my own inner voice/gut feelings and disregarding the army of other voices in my head was one of the biggest gifts and turning points in my own recovery. I can also see that staying married out of obligation/fear/stubbornness/whatever it was and all the resentment and lack of love and respect was not doing him any favors, no matter how much his alcoholic brain begged for it. It was actually a really bad thing to do to him, or anyone, and the opposite of kind and I regret it on many levels.
